Mexican DORITO Casserole.

Doritos.  Comfort food at it's finest.  There is nothing healthy about this recipe.  But it is SOOO good.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup shredded cheese (I did a mixture of Cheddar and Monterey Jack)
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 can Ro-tel tomatoes
• 1/2 packet taco seasoning or 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
• Bag of Doritos (I used original)
• 1/2 cup of cheese to sprinkle on top (I used more monterey jack)

Directions:

1. Cook and dice chicken.
2. Preheat oven to 350F
3. Spray a 2 quart casserole with cooking spray.
4. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, except the Doritos and the 1/2cup of the cheese to sprinkle on top.
5. Crush and sprinkle Doritos to cover the bottom of the casserole dish.  About 2 cups.
6. Cover Doritos with half of the chicken mixture.
7. Crush and sprinkle another two cups of Doritos on top.
8. Cover with remaining chicken mixture.
9. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
10. Cover the casserole and cook about 30 to 35 minutes until bubbling and heated through.

Enjoy!

Tater Tot Hotdish

This is one of the reasons I was asked to start this blog.  Tater tot hotdish.  What is hotdish you ask? AWESOMENESS!

No really.  According to wikipedia: it is a baked casserole that contains a starch, meat/protein, vegetables of some sort, and canned soup.

Did I loose you already?  How about this to keep you here?

Ingredients:

I forgot the can of Cream of Celery in this picture.  OOPS!

I like visual references. Can you tell??

 

1 (24 ounce) bag frozen tater tots
1 lb ground turkey burger
1 (12 ounce) can tomatoes with chilis (Rotel)
1 (12 ounce) can condensed cheddar or nacho cheese soup
1 (12 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken (or celery) soup
1 (12 ounce) can sweet corn (drained) or 1.5 cups frozen
1 (12 ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 (12 ounce) bag four-cheese Mexican blend cheese
1 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 chopped red pepper
1 diced jalepeno pepper (seeded)

 Directions:

Heat onions and olive oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes.  Make sure not to burn them!

Add chopped garlic, jalepeno and red pepper to onions and let cook for 2-3 minutes before adding turkey burger. Cook until browned, 6-8 minutes.

Drain the tomatoes, beans and corn and mix with the cans of condensed soup in a casserole dish.  I used a 13x9" glass dish.  It filled it.  Do NOT add any milk or water to the soup.  Use the soup straight from the can!!

Yummy.

After the meat is browned and the grease is drained, stir it in with the veggie/soup mixture. Cover with shredded cheese and top with frozen tater tots.  If you add more tater tots I will not tell.  I think the best part about this is the cheesy tots on top.  NOM!

Bake in the oven at 375°F until the tots are browned. About 35-40 minutes.

Still yummy reheated the next day, just not as pretty!
